I have a 7'x16' v-nose trailer that works just fine "for me" - wider is more comfortable to get in/out but for me is detrimental going down the road etc... so I compromise. Load my buggy tight on the right side of the trailer (which in reality is maybe 6" off centered) and have enough room to turn my body sideways and exit to the back a little, shut buggy door and walk front or back whatever. I am a 250 pounder with most in the gut LOL. At the time my tow rig was marginal for that size trailer - I pickup my new truck on Saturday - damn this hobby is more expensive than my motorcycle hobby!
I had a 6.5x12 that I loved before getting my pioneer. It kept growing so had to upgrade trailer and so glad I did. 7x20 is perfect. Not too big alone but can actually squeeze my buddy’s on too if needed
my particular enclosed is an Aluma AE716TA (google that and you can get specs) I think standard is 6' height trailer and mine is whats called a plus9 (9" higher) dont remember exact measurement at door but with Honda roof installed on 1000-5 deluxe -stock wheels it loads with about an inch height to spare (its close - no upsizing tires)
I'm on the edge of buying a 1000-5 Deluxe, but need a trailer first. For you that trailer your 1000 around, what size are you using? I'm thinking a Doolittle SS 7712 will fit the bill. 77" wide by 12' long. Think that's plenty big?
I load 2 pioneer 1000-5s into a 20 foot 8'5" High opening and 8 feet wide IS A MUST - the 8ft width makes tie downs easier and allows you to get in and out. HIEGHT get the special order 8'5" single rear ramp USCARGO V-shape front trailer with side door access and REAR Drive-in ramp. We pull the 2 SxS out and with the generator and camp cots and water tank we sleep indoors with luxury. refrigerator,'
microwave toilet and running water.
+1 for quality tie-downs; I'm not cruising at 70 mph (or on a rugged trail) with a $20k 4-wheeler strapped on with $25 straps. Check out macscustomtiedowns.com for lots of high quality options (no affiliation).
I’m running about in a 6’ x 12’ single axle. She has steel sides, wooden deck, 6 D-ring’s, Erickson wheel chock tie downs for all 4 wheels, Spare tire, and heavy duty ramp. It fits the 1000-5 nicely and leaves enough room to stuff extra camping gear. I opted for this size as the use is specific for this machine only, and to park in my garage (my truck got kicked out to the driveway).
I can’t say enough good things about the Erickson wheel chock tie downs. They are so quick to set up every time, I love it. Bonus that freeing up the machines suspension makes travelling easier on the trailer and the Pioneer! If you are on the fence, get them!!
